I provide you with straightforward forms to complete to
make sure we have all the information we need for a smooth transaction
When you return the forms I work in your interest by carefully
examining the information and warning you of any possible problem areas
Your house will require a Home Information
Pack (HIP). While
I am willing and able to work with a HIP that somebody else has prepared,
I would be very happy to prepare the HIP for you
Once I am satisfied that we have collected all the necessary
information, and identified and planned for any difficulties, I prepare
a pack for the buyer’s solicitors. This
pack consists of the draft contract, copy Land Registry entries,
a fixtures and fittings list, your property information form, the entire
planning history of the property and any guarantees
From that point onwards I negotiate the terms
of the contract for you with the buyer’s solicitors. Apart from
saving you time, doing it this way protects you from making any unintended
commitments and ensures you have an experienced person fighting your
corner if the buyer’s
team introduces any difficult requirements
While this is going on I keep you informed regularly of progress, and
immediately if any matters arise that could be a cause of concern.
stage 2
I handle the arrangements with your buyer’s
solicitors to make sure the exchange of contracts is smooth, prompt
and legally effective
If you have a mortgage, I obtain a redemption statement from your
lender
If you are using an estate agent, I advise them of the sale
I collect the deposit from the buyers. (I am required to hold this
until completion)
I prepare a completion statement advising you how much money will
be left over after completion
I send you in good time a checklist for all the matters you need to think
about in planning for a smooth departure (post redirection, council tax,
TV licence, Register of Electors and so on).
stage 3
I receive the sale proceeds, redeem any mortgage, pay the estate
agents and myself, and account to you with the balance.
